Utah Jazz 103-106: Curry Propels Warriors To 19th Unbeaten Run

The Warriors extended their unbeaten run to 19 games and Stephen Curry was the man again. Utah Jazz looked tough on the Warriors but Curry pulled the magic beam to give the Warriors the needed victory. Only 3 points was between the teams.

The Golden State Warriors always rise to the challenge. In a tough, gritty game in Salt Lake City, the Warriors extended their streak to 19-0 with a 106-103 win over the Utah Jazz Monday. Stephen Curry brought in 26 points, six rebounds, and five assists in the win, including an absolutely monster pull-up 3-pointer late to give the Warriors a three-point lead they would not surrender.

Curry missed a chance to ice it late, but after it was Jazz ball with 16 seconds to go, Rodney Hood missed a pull-up 3-pointer for the win. The Warriors secured the rebound, Curry hit free throws and with the Jazz out of timeouts, Gordon Hayward's heave fell short. It's another example of the resilience that the Warriors have shown time and time again.


When they needed a big response after the Jazz surged into the lead inside two minutes, Curry hit a step-back jumper to cut it to one, then the Warriors forced a turnover. Despite a great contest from Derrick Favors on Curry to force a transition miss, Draymond Green got the put-back to put the Warriors up four.

There just doesn't appear to be any way to out-execute Golden State. When they need a monster stop, they get one. When they need a big basket, Curry drains it. They find a way every time, like great teams do.

The Warriors streak is now the longest across two seasons at 23 consecutive wins going back to last season. They are 14 wins away from matching the Lakers' record of 33 consecutive victories in a single NBA season. Next up, they face the Hornets Wednesday in Charlotte.
